This project, first conceived as an exhibition and later as a photobook, emerged at the end of a chapter of life marked by displacement
Neither quite a departure nor truly a return, but rather a way of inhabiting thresholds, passages, the folds of an inner geography
It was within this context that the question of borders asserted itself with force: visible or invisible boundaries drawn between bodies, territories, and narratives
These images (portraits, vegetation, textures, structures) form a sensitive cartography in which each photograph gently attempts to shift perception
Spilling beyond the lines lets contours tremble, space open, certainties pause
Por algum tempo
Que afinal passou depressa, como tudo tem de passar
Hoje eu me sinto
Como se ter ido fosse necessário para voltar
Tanto mais vivo
De vida mais vivida, dividida pra lá e pra cá
Gilberto Gil, Back in Bahia
For me, photography is a way of remaining in motion without fleeing, of entering into contact without imposing,
of capturing that fleeting je-ne-sais-quoi that connects and reveals
